Pasquale “Nino” Perrotta, who provided the round-the-clock for security for Pruitt, resigned on Monday because of the mounting media coverage.

​”​All of this press is taking a toll on my family. I decided to move on and it’s been an honor to serve,” ​Perrotta told ABC News.

His departure comes as the EPA confirmed that Pruitt’s Superfund adviser Albert Kelly is also leaving the agency.

Kelly, a longtime friend of Pruitt from Oklahoma, stepped aside after the New York Times reported earlier this month that he had been barred from working in the
finance industry by the FDIC, according to Axios, which cited sources close to him.

In a statement, Pruitt said Kelly “will be sorely missed.”

Perrotta, a former Secret Service agent whose last day is Tuesday, said he would still “fully cooperate and answer any and all questions” in the congressional
investigations, including the House Oversight Committee, the ABC report said. ​

​Perrotta could shed light on several of the ethical scandals surrounding Pruitt, including the ​first-class travel to avoid angry critics, a $43,000 soundproof phone booth in Pruitt’s office and how Pruitt managed to rent a Capitol Hill condo from a lobbyist for $50 a night.

​He also reportedly used his clout to influence the awarding of a security contract at the EPA to a Maryland firm in which he is a business partner.

​Perrotta has denied the accusations​.

Kevin Chmielewski, a former EPA deputy chief of staff, accused Perrotta of threatening to take away his agency parking pass after he raised questions about the spending for travel and security.

“There was no threat made on the phone at all,” Perrotta told ABC.

Chmielewski said he was forced out of the EPA.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, the chairman of the House Oversight panel, said the committee will interview Perrotta and several other Pruitt aides.

The South Carolina Republican said the committee also has hundreds of documents about Pruitt’s travel, oversea trips and the condo rental.
